HMS Belfast
Families
Free event with general admission
This October half term can you help one unlucky sailor find his lost kit?
Pick up a free family trail guide and search around the ship to see if you can find all 10 lost items. Discover fun facts and stories on the way, and complete the trail to receive a special sticker.
From 26 October to 3 November families can also join in with our free craft activities. Sew, design and decorate your own unique collar to take home. You'll even get a chance to handle real items worn and used by the ship's crew, including a real collar from the 1940s and a 'huzzif' - a sailor's sewing kit!
More for families
A trip to HMS Belfast is a chance for families to step back to a place where history happened. Follow in the footsteps of the thousands of officers and men who lived and fought on board the ship from the Second World War and beyond.
With interactive activities and nine decks to explore there is so much for families to see and do on board.
To make the most of your family’s visit, be sure to check out our families page.
